Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 255 The White Ape is Old, Desiring the Evil Emperor's Relic
Whoosh!

After Yuwen Huaji left, a series of beast-like sounds rang out from the throat of the strange white ape.

Xu Qing's gaze shifted from the "Ice Profound Force" manual to the white ape, noticing the white ape's appearance.

He immediately realized that the white ape was still resentful about failing to defeat Yuwen Huaji.

Xu Qing chuckled lightly: "Your failure to defeat him is not because you are too weak, but because this person is indeed very strong."

He read through "Ice Profound Force," a martial art that would be considered a top-tier divine skill in the world of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," and was extremely profound and difficult to cultivate.

Only an unparalleled genius can master this skill!
Among such a powerful family as the Yuwen clan, apart from the patriarch, only Yuwen Huaji mastered this technique, which shows that Yuwen Huaji had a very high talent.

Ice Profound Force is an extremely cold martial art. It possesses both the chilling aura and terrifying power like an overwhelming force.

This martial art possesses formidable explosive power; in terms of sheer power, it is no less powerful than the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the number one internal energy cultivation method in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

However, the power of the Nine Yang Divine Skill is secondary; its greater strength lies in the profound martial arts principles it embodies, a point where the Ice Profound Force falls short.

The white ape panted heavily, still unconvinced.

"If it really comes down to a duel, it won't be difficult for you to defeat him," Xu Qing said calmly.

But he didn't say it: if it were a life-or-death battle, the white ape would have to pay a heavy price to kill him.

It's not that the white ape isn't strong enough, but that it's old now.

It lived from the Condor Heroes era to the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber era, and then followed Xu Qing for over a hundred years, reaching an age of over two hundred years, nearly three hundred years old.

At this age, the white ape was already in his twilight years.

Its vital energy has begun to decline, and there is no further progress.

This is also why Xu Qing concluded that the white ape would have to pay a heavy price to kill Yuwen Huaji.

The white ape's true death battle in its old age, followed by its ultimate eruption, caused immense damage to its body.

Its physical condition is ultimately not as good as it was in its youth, and such a high-intensity burst of power is very harmful to the body.

Yuwen Huaji was only in his thirties, which was extremely young for a powerful innate master.

As the saying goes, youth is a powerful advantage in boxing; among fighters of the same skill level, youth is a significant advantage.

"Xiaobai, you're getting old," Xu Qing said calmly, stating the fact.

The strange white ape fell silent, no longer making a sound.

It is indeed old, its condition is declining, and it is no longer as fierce as it was when it was young.

"If you can complete the marrow refining and blood exchange in the near future, your condition will be restored to youth."

Xu Qing spoke again, saying that with the completion of the Marrow Refining Technique and the Blood Transformation Foundation Establishment, his vitality would return to its youthful state, and his physical functions would surge, as if he were living a second life.

But this is difficult.

Even after a century, the white ape couldn't achieve this, and now that it's old, it's even more difficult to accomplish.

However, Xu Qing already knew about his situation and had not abandoned him, so he would naturally try to help him go further.

The most direct way at present is for Xu Qing to consume his own essence and blood to nourish the white ape.

However, this method is detrimental to Xu Qing and causes too much damage.

He will not choose this method.

"It seems we have to get our hands on the Evil Emperor's Relic."

Xu Qing's eyes flickered, and something came to mind.

The Evil Emperor's Relic is a supreme treasure of the demonic sect in this world of martial arts.

The Demonic Sect calls it the Holy Relic, which is extremely special.

It contains the essence and life-long power of the Holy Lords of the Demonic Sect throughout the ages!

The primordial essence is the foundation of everything; it is one of the three treasures of the human body.

The Evil Emperor's Relic can store the human body's essence and power. Over the years, the power stored in this Evil Emperor's Relic has become extremely abundant.

If the white ape can absorb the primordial essence from the Evil Emperor's relic to nourish its qi and blood, it will have a chance to take a crucial step forward.

Such a treasure is not in the Demonic Sect.

Instead, it was handed over by Xiang Yutian, the evil emperor of the Demonic Sect back then, to Lu Miaozi, the current number one all-rounder in the world.

Lu Miaozi then stored the Evil Emperor's Relic in the deepest part of Yang Gong's Treasure Vault.

Legend has it that the Yang Gong Treasure Vault contains astonishing wealth, and whoever finds and obtains it will possess wealth beyond measure.

Many martial arts sects are aware of this matter.

Xu Qing was also aware of this matter; to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic, he needed to find Yang Gong's Treasure Vault. The location of Yang Gong's Treasure Vault kept resurfacing in Xu Qing's mind.

Finally, it was remembered that the designer, Lu Miaozi, had hidden Yang Gong's treasure trove in Chang'an.

That is, the capital of the Sui Dynasty.

"Don't rush to find Yang Gong's treasure trove."

Xu Qing knew the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault; the place was extremely secretive, and no one knew about it except for the designer.

That treasure vault is located beneath the capital city; it won't run away.

Moreover, Xu Qing is not currently in the capital, but rather in the imperial palace in Jiangdu, Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Chang'an, a long journey.

Even with his supernatural powers, it would take him two days to travel back and forth.

Now that the martial arts treasure "The Longevity Manual" is in Yangzhou, Xu Qing decides to retrieve it first and then search for the Yang Gong Treasure Vault.

The white ape looked at Xu Qing with puzzled eyes, not understanding what the Evil Emperor's Relic that Xu Qing mentioned was.

But it should be a remarkable treasure.

After all, the master fell into deep thought when he mentioned this item, so it must be something extraordinary.

Xu Qing snapped out of his daze and instructed the white ape to continue refining his qi and blood.

He then began to study the "Ice Profound Force," a martial art with considerable power, which was qualified to become part of the "Martial Classic."

At this moment, after leaving the palace, Yuwen Huaji felt even more strongly that Yang Guang, whom he had seen today, exuded an extraordinary domineering aura.

This domineering and forceful energy is completely different from before.

Moreover, it was so awe-inspiring that he could hardly control himself.

"When did this tyrant cultivate such divine skills, hiding them so deeply!"

He looked back toward the palace, but with his eyesight, he couldn't detect any trace of the other party's presence during their previous encounter.

If it weren't for that fleeting, powerful aura earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Furthermore, he was quite certain that the unfamiliar aura did not belong to that ferocious beast.

It could very well be Yang Guang himself!
"Since this tyrant has such power, why is he no longer hiding it?"

Yuwen Huaji began to ponder the doubts in his heart.

"Could it be that his divine skill has reached its peak? So he no longer needs to hide it?!"

Soon, Yuwen Huaji made a deduction, and he felt that this was highly likely.

The aura he detected was most likely the aura leaked out by the opponent after mastering martial arts!
"Yang Guang! Yang Guang! I never imagined you could have hidden yourself so well, deceiving so many people!"

Yuwen Huaji's eyes were full of apprehension, and he was terrified by Yang Guang's hidden intentions.

If he hadn't come to report the situation today, it would have been difficult to discover Yang Guang's true strength!

"But how exactly did he acquire such power? Could Yang Guang alone have accomplished this?"

"Impossible! Someone must be helping him!"

As Yuwen Huaji moved away from the palace, he kept thinking about who was secretly helping Yang Guang to acquire such formidable strength.

Moreover, Yang Guang was given such a ferocious monster as a protector!

"Taoism? Buddhism? Or the Demonic Sect?"

The three major powers in the world flashed through Yuwen Huaji's mind.

Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism have a tremendous influence on the entire world and have been fighting each other for a long time.

If we were to say who could help Yang Guang, it would undoubtedly be one of these three major forces.

After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Huaji found it difficult to understand due to the lack of information.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. Our primary task is to seize the 'Longevity Manual'!"

Yuwen Huaji suppressed his many doubts and decided to focus on the "Longevity Manual" first.

After all, this item was a matter of life and death for him.

Today, in that palace hall, he vowed to seize this thing.

If he disappoints Yang Guang again, he may lose his position, which will also affect the future plans of the Yuwen clan!
